Is long-suffering, and neither demands
improvement or finds fault with pres
ent methods in my housekeeping. He
proposed teaching me his mothers
way of making tea. 1t was to use the
same proportion as before but not to
pour the whole amount of boiling
water on the leaves until they have
first stepped in just enough to cover
them, three minutes. Then add the
amount of water required, and serve.
If the water really boils there will be
no shoaters."
By the new rule, found in our daily
paper, tea is made with cold water
and is intended to be used iced In
tumblers. But accidentally we have
discovered that it makes superior hot
tea also. -Four or five hours before
using, pour one cupiul of cold water
over teaspoonful of tea leaves. At
tea time strain and serve as iced tea,
or heated in the teapot. The strain
ing before heating gives unusual deli
cacy to the flavor.

A Museum of Religion.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
Parislans who, in these latter days,
at least, are not remarkable for the
depth or fervor of their religious feel
ings, are about to have museum of
religions. The founder of this remark
able and interesting institution is q M.
Guimet. The building is the in Gr@co-
Roman style of architecture, and with
its pillared porticoes, its rotun1 q, it's
columns, and it's caryatides, looks
like an ancient temple. 1t is situated
near the Trocadero, at corner of the
Avenue d. Jena. The edifce has been
constructed after designs which were
taken from the last mosaics discov-
cred at Pompeii. The religions of Greece
and Rome are more strong ly represent
ed, and in the northern gallery is an
atrium which is to contain the altar
of O. pagan divinity copied from an
original model. In the lateral galleries
will be exhibited objects appertaining
to the religions OF Egypt, India and
China. Ia garden ATTACHED to the
building there is to be placed q large
conservatory and a pond containing
plants consecrated to religious uses.
it is stated that the museum will be
opened to the public in a few weeks.

A Curious Coincidence.

From the San Benito Advance.
A curious coincidence happened to
the two young sons of Mr.. S5eigleman,
of Paiaro Valley. two weeks ago. One
of the brothers was at home upon his
fathers ranch, and, in getting over O.
fence, caught his pants and fell to the
ground, breaking one of the bones of
his right arm. The same week his
brother was visiting at Hugh French's
home, in the Comstock District, in
this county, and, while returning from
an errand, the lad caught his pants
on g. picket standing in the road AID
fell to the ground, breaking the bones
OF his wrist. The two lads were forty
miles apart at the time of the accl-
dents. Both are recovering.

A Guest of the Ameer of Bokhara

Letter to the st. Petersburg Viedemosti.
The interior of the palace Of the
Ameer of Bokhara is very simple,
righteousness being only shown in
costly carpets and the presence OF a
large staff Of servants. The walls are
not decorated. In the audience hall
there are two wardrobes, with
mirrors, and in one corner g. marble
statue of Psyche. A long table occu
pied the center Of the dining room,
covered with red silk tablecloth.
Lackeys in turbans served the Bokha-
ran visitors with green tea in china
cups, and the Russian guests were
treated to black tea in tumblers-
after tea dinner was served, consisting
of soup, meat and eggs. The Ameer,
on ascending to the throne, disposed
of all the valuables bequeathed to him
by his father, including presents from
the Russian court. The purchasers
were rich local Jews, who bought the
articles at very low price. The cor
respondent states that it is not ofrare
occurrence to see watches set in dia-
monds and parts of emerald services
in the bazaar and in private hands
offered for sale at comparatively low
rorioaa

The excellent Freshleigh, whose pref
ty little suburban home is the admir-
alton of all his neighbors, and whose
daily attire. in it's spick-and-span
neatness and excellence of taste, is in
harmony with the dainty elegance of
his domicile, was g. victim last week of
a very odd mishap. The curtain rose
upon the little comedy on Thursday
afternoon, when Mrs. Freshleigh, be-
ing in the act Of sallying forth from
the house to take O. train for town,
met the driver of q laundry delivery
wagon at the gate, with Freshleigh's
washing for the week. Mrs. Fresh
leigh always likes to attend to her
husbands washing herself when it
arrives; but she was in g. hurry, and
told the laundry man to 60 around
to the back door and leave the par
eel with the girl. He did so, and Mrs.
Freshleigh went on. Now, it happens
that Mrs. Freshleigh's maid of-all.

Ireland, and is entirely green in the
ways of American civilization. She

Saturday afternoon Freshleigh came
home, and as he was going out in the
evening he had occasion to use some
of his clean linen. He looked in it's
accustomed place but it was not
there. He ransacked the room, and
then consulted Mrs. Freshleigh. She
remembers that she had not seen the
parcel sirce she sent it around to Jo-
hanna to take care of Thursday after
noon. So Johanna was interpellat-
ed.
"Whet did you do with Mr.. Fresh
leigh's laundry parcel, Johanna?"
"FhW at landry parcel, mum?"

Mice in The Minister'S Pocket.
From the St. Paul Globe.

from the SC. raul GlODo.
Everybody has heard Daniel Web
ster's story of the New Hampshire
parson who put on q pair of trousers
in which the wasps had built nest,
and did not make the discovery until
he was in the pulpit. He had just an
nOunced the beginning of the text,
1.-The spirit of the Lord is in my
mouth"-when the pesky little fellows
got in their work, and the sentence
was concluded with the exclamation,
"and the devil is in my breeches."
A St. Paul CLERGY man found himself
in nearly as embarrassing position as
the New Hampshire parson when last
Sunday he appeared in the pulpit,
wearing pair of fall trousers which
had been hanging in the wardrobe dur
ing the long summer vacation. The
wasps had not found him out, but
motherly old mouse had. She had
spread anice, warm couch of sealskin
pluckiogs in the right hand pocket of
the trousers. into which an even half
dozen of one-day-old micelets had
been tucked away. 1t is favorite
gesture of the clergyman in question,
when about to approach q climax in
the sermon, to thrust his right hand
in his trouser pocket and elevate the
left with the foreinger extended.
1t so happened on this particular
day that Elljah's translation was the
theme. The good prophet had been
followed by the eloquent preacher un-
til the climax Of the ascension in
chariot of fire had been reached, when
the clergyman thrust his right hand
into his trouser pocket. The audience,
who had been hanging on the burning
words of the orator, were no little
startled by the sudden collapse of the
uplifted left hand, the index finger OF
which was III the acc OF pointing to the
gates that were being lifted up to let the
prophet in. The expression of g. mo-
mentary pang shot across the preach
er's face as with convulsive jerk the
other hand was brought up from the
pocket. A glance at it's contents,
quick squeezing together of the hand,
the light thud of something dropping
behind the pulpit. an amused smile
on the face for second an then the
glowing theme WAS resumed. Only
those who sat on the front row in the
amen corner heard what the preacher
said when he discovered the mice in
his hand. "Weil, I'll be doggoned /"
was sufficient.

A High Rolling Game of Poker.
From the Oil CITY Derrick.

From the Oil City Derrick.
Charles Lobaugh, VINO Is now farm
ing in Warren County, was in the city
yesterday and said to Derrick re-
porter: 81 see you are printing queer
things that happened in the oil re-
gions. | was at Petroleum Center
when old Bennington was robbed of
$25O,OOO in cash that he got out OF
his Oil farm. AS near as the detec-
tives could figure it out, there were
five men engaged in that robbery,
which would be g. dividend of $50, 900
who was suspected OF being concerned
night at poker and keno. This was
some two months after the robbery,
and when the detectives were chasing
around the country after the robbers.
The police at Petroleum Center sus-
pected this fellow, but there was no
evidence whatever against him except
that he was a sport who lived high
and did nothing. I was in a GAM
bling saloon at the Center one night
when this sport was rolling high. He
paid his losses in cash as long as his
roll lasted, and then gave checks
which we're freely accepted. John
Wilson, who killed himself in Cincin-
natl, won $4,000 from him on wa
ger concerning the pedigree of q trot-
ting horse owned in Rochester, and
got the money in cash. After he
dropped the $25, 900 he disappeared
from the Center. This confirmed the
suspicion of the police that he had g.
hand in robbing Bennington. Search
was made tor him, but without sue
cess, and from that day to this he
never turned up"
